    Service Act, Section 331) needs to collect data on its programs to 
    ensure compliance with legislative mandates and to report to Congress 
    and policy makers on program accomplishments. To meet these objectives, 
    the NHSC requires a core set of information collected annually that is 
    appropriate for monitoring and evaluating performance and reporting on 
    annual trends. The NHSC will provide data on services, staffing, and 
    financing. Each site will be asked to provide information on the 
    following: services offered and delivery method; users by various 
    characteristics; staffing and utilization; charges and collections; 
    receivables, income and expenses; and, managed care.
